Wiltshire Council has announced temporary traffic orders affecting Box and Colerne to facilitate essential utility works by Openreach and Wessex Water. These closures, scheduled for both daytime and overnight periods, are designed to ensure the safety of workers and the public throughout the duration of the projects.
The temporary traffic orders, identified as Orders A to C, have a maximum legal duration of 18 months. However, the council expects the works to be completed within shorter timeframes, subject to favourable weather conditions. Drivers will find clear traffic signs indicating closures and diversions in advance to assist with navigation.
Efforts will be made to maintain access for local residents and businesses wherever possible, although some delays are anticipated due to the nature of the works. The affected areas include locations near postal codes SN13 8EP and SN14 8DY, covering important local routes connecting to the A4 corridor.

Wiltshire Council is committed to minimising disruption while enabling the essential maintenance required to support vital local services.
